Transmission Remote GUI
Transmission Remote GUI is a feature-rich, cross-platform desktop client for controlling a Transmission BitTorrent daemon remotely via RPC protocol. It offers a native application interface for Windows, Linux and macOS, with more functionality and better performance than Transmission's built-in web interface. The app provides torrent filtering, peer information, download prioritisation, tracker management, and integration with .torrent files and magnet links. It is developed using Lazarus RAD and Free Pascal, and is distributed under the GNU General Public Licence version 2.0.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTransmission Remote GUI has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developer. While the RoaringApps database indicates a universal binary build was prepared at some point, the app's end-of-life status and absence of recent updates mean development has stalled. The Intel-only build you have will continue to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (late 2027), so this app will stop launching on that release. If you actively rely on remote Transmission control, consider switching to Transmission's official web interface (which runs in any browser and requires no native app), or if you prefer a desktop client, investigate Transmission's native macOS build itself, which provides basic torrent management without requiring a separate remote GUI. Users who need advanced features like the ones Transmission Remote GUI offered should research whether other active BitTorrent clients for macOS offer comparable remote-control capabilities.
